INFIELDERS: Chris Davis

Karl Merton Ferron, Baltimore Sun

The big first baseman had one of the greatest offensive seasons in the history of the franchise and also had such a solid year at first base that Showalter was openly campaigning for him to win a Gold Glove award. What more can you ask of a guy than to lead the major leagues in home runs and RBIs? He was so clutch that he picked the final day of the regular season to get hurt, narrowly avoiding his 200th strikeout. Of course, nobody cares how much he strikes out. What a season. Grade: A+
